INFO:
Old-fashioned playmaker, Delamontagne remains one of the best technicians who has delighted the audience of Le Basser. Comfortable with both feet, endowed with an exceptional vision of the game and a real speed of execution, he was the launching pad of the Mayenne attackers. One of the best #10s in the league in those years. Capable of being a provider, he also knows how to transform himself into a scorer. Very fast player, excellent technician, great shot technique. Often compared to Raymond Keruzoré, another Lavallois legend (Keruzore once said: "he is better than me"). In Laval, he was a playmaker full of talent and technique, nicknamed the "Platini of Le Basser". He had two good years with Laval, scoring 21 goals in that time. These qualities allowed him to become an international in 1981, when he played for Nancy. Always entitled to preferential treatment from opposing teams. "I always had a guy at the marking. At the time, we often played in 4-3-3 and the 10 was taken by the 6 opposite. They were leeches."
Trained in Rennes and after a stint in Laval, Patrick Delamontagne arrived at ASNL in 1980 with a French international status. At 22 years old, he is a player full of technical qualities, able to change pace and especially to deliver long precise passes as another number ten of the ASNL knew how to do: Michel Platini. He finally spent two years in Nancy (62 matches, 11 goals), then tried a new adventure in Monaco, but did not manage to find a place in the sun. With the team of the principality, however, he played in a final of the Coupe de France and also became vice-champion of France in 1984. For his second spell in Mayenne, he scored 19 goals and returned to the French team in a qualifying match for the Euro against Norway in 1987. Creator capable in a single pass to tip a match, he remains the "Platini of Le Basser" and revived his career. After playing for Laval 3 years, he then played one year for Marseille before he his last pro match in 1991 with Rennes.
Patrick will remain in the collective memories, with his curly boil and his number 10 on his back, as a player capable of all exploits. Despite an astonishing stability in his performances and an extraordinary talent, this discreet and cultured boy clearly did not have the career he deserved. Too bad, Delamontagne could have been at the top.
